Primark US has recalled approximately 3,170 water balloon pumps sold in blue and pink. The pumps can generate excessive pressure during use, causing them to rupture and break apart unexpectedly. There have been 11 total reports of the pumps rupturing, including 11 reports of cuts to users' hands and fingers (two incidents occurred in the United States and nine occurred internationally). These pumps were sold at Primark stores from March 2023 through July 2023 for about $6.
The water balloon pump can build up too much internal pressure, causing the plastic bottle to burst and strike the user or bystanders. This defect has already caused cuts and lacerations to the hands and fingers of several users.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water balloon pumps and return them to a Primark store for a full refund in the form of the original payment.
Product code is located on the price tag on the back of the bottle.
